Adoption or surrogacy?
There are those who can’t consider adoption but wish to have children with whom they have a genetic connection. Then there are those who, for various reasons, isn’t aloud to or can’t adopt. For them – surrogacy can be an option.
Adoption for the childless
In the past, Adoption was a common way for involuntary childless people to become parents, but in recent years international adoptions to Europe have drastically decreased.
Over the years, the waiting time for an adoption has become longer and today an adoption of a child with ordinary needs can take four to five years from the time you apply.
There are several reasons for this. Increasing prosperity in the world is one of them. Fewer children are in need of a new family abroad. The middle class is growing in many of the countries of origin. In many places, knowledge about contraception has increased, while being a single mother has become more acceptable. In cases where children still need a new family, countries have become better at finding solutions within the country.
Frequently asked questions about surrogacy
How long will it take once the decision has been made to have a child through surrogacy?
At Nordic Surrogacy you can start the surrogacy process immediately after signing an agreement with us. Most clients usually make their first trip to the destination to deposit eggs and/or sperm within three months. Getting to this point requires documentation and results from medical tests, which we guide you through.
How does the surrogate mother live during her pregnancy?
The surrogate mother’s lifestyle and health are regularly monitored in medical check-ups at the clinic. However, she continues to live and work as usual, in her own home with her family. In some cases, if she wishes, she moves closer to the clinic in the later stages of pregnancy as labour approaches.
Is it possible to meet the egg donor?
In Colombia and Georgia, all egg donation is anonymous, meaning that the donor’s identity is kept hidden from the family.
In the USA, once they are 18 years old, the child has the right to be able to contact the egg donor.
What is surrogacy?
Surrogacy involves a woman carrying and giving birth to a child for someone else. Most commonly, the child is biologically that of the intended parents or, alternatively, the egg or sperm is donated by a third party. These different options are referred to as full surrogacy and are the types we offer at Nordic Surrogacy.
Surrogacy as an alternative to adoption
Many people who originally wanted to adopt children for various reasons now find this difficult or almost impossible. Therefore, in countries where it is clearly regulated, surrogacy can be an alternative.
Surrogacy involves a woman carrying and giving birth to a child for someone else. At Nordic Surrogacy, we work with so-called full surrogacy. This means that the woman carrying the child never has a genetic connection to the child. The child is either the biological child of the parents or the egg or sperm is donated by a third party.
- Commercial surrogacy means that the woman carrying the child receives financial compensation for doing so.
- In altruistic Surrogacy, the surrogate receives no financial compensation.
